and in a free marketplace one is entitled to ask what they want for their stuff. There are 2 cards I need for my set he has had listed at least 3 years but I believe it's even more than that. I once made an offer on one of the cards and he was kind enough to at least reply. They are all listed about double the going rate. I doubt it cost more than a few dollars to offer these cards on eBay from his store over the entire 3+ years listing. Such listings IMHO devalue the eBay site overall when multiplied times the number of sellers and items that over time clog up what began as an AUCTION site. Buyers become frustrated, buy less, sellers list less or BIN at even higher levels, eventually the overall number of people that like to "collect" is diminshed as they are impacted by availabilty, price, and frustration issues. Just look at almost any collectibles category on FeeBay and you'll likely find only about 10-15% of listings are in auction format - a format that made them king in the collectible market.
